  • On the other hand, 2GB RAM is quite useful for server-type workload: A web server, a small DB, a blog, email service...what other people buy RPi's for, you can do with that laptop. Add some external (USB3 I hope) storage (SSD or even a good USB stick), and use it as centralized storage. I run minio (S3 storage) and NextCloud on a small machine and it's way more convenient and useful than I imagined initially.
